A Tiny Canadian Island is Making Some of the World’s Biggest Burgers

Prince Edward Island is the smallest province in Canada. It comes in just a smidge bigger than Trinidad. In the food world, Prince Edward Island is best known for its lobsters and its mussels. (Ever see PEI mussels? That’s what the P, the E and the I stand for.) But once a year, Prince Edward Island produces gigantic, crazy burgers, as local restaurants compete for votes in the PEI Burger Love Contest. You can see all 54 entries here, but these are some of the almost-too-big-to-eat burgers.
